Pauline Sokol, ex-nurse-turned-medical insurance fraud
investigator, is on the case, this time going undercover at
a posh clinic in Newport, Rhode Island, that specializes in
plastic surgery. Insurance companies are being billed
enormous amounts of money for questionably covered
services, and it's up to Pauline to discover who's
submitting fraudulent insurance claims. Roommate and best
friend Goldie Perlman volunteers to undergo a nose job at
the clinic, giving Pauline a chance to go undercover as his
private nurse.
There is no shortage of possible suspects in the insurance
fraud case, but things heat up when a local man, whose wife
is a frequent flyer at the clinic, is murdered. When the
primary suspect in that murder, who works at the clinic, is
also killed, Pauline wonders if there's a connection
between her case and the murders.
NIP, TUCK, DEAD is the latest in Avocato's Pauline Sokol
mystery series, and it doesn't disappoint. Pauline is full
of humor and determination to make a success of her chosen
career, Miles and Goldie are ever supportive of their best
friend, and the mysterious Jagger plays an even bigger role
in this book, revealing more about their "are they or
aren't they" relationship. Ever present in all of these
stories is Pauline's family, and they're in top form in
this one. Fans of Avocato's Pauline are sure to enjoy NIP,
TUCK, DEAD!
Ex-nurse-turned-insurance fraud investigator Pauline
Sokol’s willing to risk anything to put a bad doc out of
business--even her best friend Goldie’s near-perfect
proboscis! Her cross-dressing compadre has agreed to get
his shnozz bobbed so Pauline can pose as his private nurse
and gain entry into Highcliff Manor--a posh plastic
surgery “spa” making an illegal killing with their repeat
clientele. But when a super-rich “frequent flier” is
unexpectedly widowed--and a receptionist who knows too
much is given the boot…off a nearby cliff!--Pauline
realizes she’s stuck her own nose into something really
nasty. Despite the pleasant distraction of the hunky Dr.
Neal--and the unexpected appearance of her sexy supervisor
Jagger--Pauline can’t shake the feeling she’s being
closely watched. And if she’s not careful, she’ll be the
next one who goes under the knife!
